O'Reilly aired his ridiculous ambush of Amanda Terkel last night and it actually made O'Reilly look worse than before. If you recall, Terkel is the ThinkProgress reporter who called out O'Reilly's statement in which he blamed a rape on a victim's clothing and alcohol consumption.
She was 5-foot-2, 105 pounds, wearing a miniskirt and a halter top with a bare midriff. Now, again, there you go. So every predator in the world is gonna pick that up at two in the morning.
I say again: Fuck you, O'Reilly.
So he dispatched a stalker who secretly trailed Terkel all the way to Winchester, Virginia and then questioned her on camera.
In the video, the Factor Stalker repeatedly grills Terkel about the "Mel Gibson Component." As if this elusive "Mel Gibson Component" would make O'Reilly's statement somehow acceptable.
It doesn't. It makes it worse. Here's O'Reilly's so-called "Mel Gibson Component":
I think it’s safe to say that if Mel Gibson didn’t get drunk, he wouldn’t be in this terrible situation he finds himself in. And if a young woman, 18-year-old Jennifer Moore of Harrington Park, NJ, didn’t get drunk, she’d be alive today.
Yeah, so, fuck you, O'Reilly. This definitely makes it worse. He's still laying the blame on the victim, but now he's comparing a guy who got drunk, was pulled over for DUI and then blurted out random anti-Semitic and misogynistic remarks -- to a woman who was raped and murdered. Gibson got what was coming to him. Is O'Reilly suggesting the same about Jennifer Moore? It sure looks that way.
